Given that the calendar year is a circular sort of concept, proclaiming 1 January as New Year’s Day seems arbitrary.  Any school kid, past or present, will tell you that the new year starts in September when school resumes.  September is the month of fresh starts.  The slothful pace of summer is shed like our sun tanned skin.  Cooler temperatures cause us to quicken our pace and waken our senses.  September is also the time when cultural  and social activity resumes.  As our lungs fill with cooler air, our heads are also looking for new things to discover.

New teachers, perhaps new schools, new clothes, fresh supplies and books and a mountain of new things to learn adds up to a Beginning.  Remember sitting at your new school desk?  Even the most disinterested student takes momentary delight in the feel of a new pen or pencil as they write their name in a fresh notebook.  The whole year is stretched out before you with all the strangeness of new subjects yet with anticipation of adventure and challenge.

This notion is reinforced year after year until graduation but persists into our post scholastic lives.

Perhaps your school years are behind you but when September rolls up, we feel  a familiar urge to learn something new or brush up an old skill.   So what will your new subject be?  Perhaps you could start by renewing an old skill and take up your pen.  Very few of us are proud of our handwriting but just like tennis or photography or any language, it improves with practice.

Set aside the laptop, treat yourself to a new pen and some fine paper and play.  Just like the pattern of your speech or style of your walk, your handwriting expresses your personality.  How long has it been since you last put your thoughts on paper?  Your words . . . your style!  It is quite exciting when you think of how much personality is packed into those inky marks on paper.
